Tradition

Brigham Young University is home to an athletic program that is historically rich in spirit and tradition.

Athletic events at BYU are an integral part to the student and local community life. BYU enjoys some of the most dedicated fans in the nation. The support for BYU athletics have helped contribute to the success enjoyed by the Cougars over the years in the quest for excellence. The Cougars own 10 national championships in men's and women's sports, have claimed more than half of all Mountain West Conference titles and boast nearly 600 All-American athletes.

Many aspects of athletic events have become synonymous with the BYU experience including BYU's mascot Cosmo, the Cougarette dance team, the marching band and Y Mountain. These, along with other icons, have become a symbol of the spirit, pride and tradition at BYU.
